Hollyoaks star Ciara Janson and Mans Zelmerlöw have two sons, Albert, 6, and Ossian, 2. Ciara has an older son, Archie, from a previous relationship.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Ciara publicly alleged that her husband Mans, had drug abuse and was abusive during their marriage. The couple tied the knot in 2019 after dating for three years. The actress in the post mentioned,
"I have stayed quiet and protected my ex-husband for too long. To stop speculation, I filed for divorce in the UK so I could keep this private. As it seems that is no longer possible, it's important I speak my truth and finally stand my ground."
The actress added that her children will be her "upmost priority," and she will do everything to protect them and be the "mother they deserve."
A source revealed on March 18, that it was Mans who filed for divorce from the actress, and Swedish publication Aftonbladet reported that the couple split after the Swedish singer filed for divorce. As per Swedish law, the couple will have six months to consider the divorce before it is granted since they have two kids.

"I cannot allow my family to live in a hostile environment an be exposed to drug abuse, emotional, physical abuse and endless infidelity anymore. I encourage anyone who is in a similar situation to seek help and supoort, and find the strength to take control of your life. Everyone deserves happiness and freedom."
Lastly, the actress wished Mans all the best and hoped that he seek help,
"I wish Mans all the best for his future endeavours, and I hope he seeks the help so he desperately needs. Whilst his chapter is closing, I wish him nothing but a path toward a better future."
The Swedish singer's lawyer, Hanna Lindblom, while responding to Ciara's accusations, told Sweden's Expressen newspaper that
"It is extremely serious to make these types of accusations."
